From 2nd to 7th June 2015, the Warwick What If? marquee played host to scientists and members of the public as they discussed the big ideas and questions raised by a different scientific theme each day of the festival, from big data to robotics, psychology to hacking.

Have you ever thought about exploring hidden structures within crystals? Want to know why our scientists are turning the world’s megacities into experimental labs? What about exploring why faces are so important to everyday life? In the run up to the Festival, participants from the Faculty of Science shared their thoughts about the future of science research.
